Spicy Bow Ties

This was a random pick off the internet.  It turned out decently.  Jon enjoyed it and I thought it was okay.  It was definitely nothing phenomenal (unlike yesterday's post).  It's an interesting mix of ingredients to create the sauce over bow ties.  The creator did a great job of keeping it low fat for those weight-conscious readers. We doubled the recipe, if you're cooking for one, you definitely don't need to!  Check it out!

 Ingredients:
  • vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small sweet red pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 green onions, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2/3 cup nonfat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons skim milk
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2-4 drops hot sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
